DESCRIPTION:A RETREAT ON SAINT KEVIN - AT GLENDALOUGH
 20th September 2024
  10:30am - 4pm
 THE CAVE\, THE BLACKBIRD &amp\; THE MONSTER |  A Journey
  with the Christian Contemplative\, Saint Kevin.Imagine going deeper on a 
 journey with the 6th century Saint Kevin... Just a few minutes from the st
 unning Monastic Site of Glendalough\, Ireland\, is the Brockagh Resource C
 entre (close to Glendalough Hermitages / St Kevin's Church) and it’s her
 e that the day retreat will take place. We will use presentation\, music\,
  stillness\, discussion\, to explore the compelling spirituality of this f
 amous hermit including the profound image of Saint Kevin’s Cave\, which 
 offers us rich ground for considering contemplative silence and why our he
 arts often yearn for stillness. The unforgettable story of Saint Kevin and
  the Blackbird will be presented through storytelling and we’ll explore 
 questions such as: How does this story show the relationship between praye
 r and creation and prayer and spiritual birth? Space for inner soul work w
 ill be offered\; the startling symbol of the monster of the lough can be a
 n aid to looking at our own shadow sides and how we can bring these gently
  to light as well as noticing the hidden treasures we may carry. The day w
 ill end (weather permitting) with prayer in the sacred place of Glendaloug
 h itself\, at St Kevin’s well.
